Cheng Fangyuan

It seems destined that Cheng Fangyuan will take the path of music in the future. After all, talent is a rare commodity and not everyone has it. Later, due to the work of his parents, the family came to Beijing from Taiyuan. Cheng Fangyuan's parents both worked at the Beijing Film Studio. His father, Cheng Dexin, had worked on several films such as "At the Gate", "Sunrise", "Yang Naiwu and Xiaobaicai", etc. He has done art design for ten dramas and film and television dramas.

After arriving in Beijing, the family lived in the family compound of Beijing Film Studio. At that time, Beijing Film Studio was full of talented people, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of literature and art. Growing up in such an environment, Cheng Fangyuan grew into a literary young man.

In order to cultivate their daughter's sense of literature and art, her parents often deliberately teach her some poetry recitation, singing, etc. What makes her parents ecstatic is that although Cheng Fangyuan is young, she learns things quickly and can sing a song. After learning it a few times, you can hum it and it will almost never go out of tune.

However, Cheng Fangyuan’s original dream was to be a reporter. She carried a backpack, a notebook and a camera and went everywhere for interviews. She thought it was cool. But due to various reasons, Cheng Fangyuan finally embarked on the road of music.

The Road to Music

Cheng Fangyuan has been learning Erhu since he was a child, and later was admitted to the Erhu major in the Folk Music Department of the Central Conservatory of Music. When Cheng Fangyuan was in college, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs were popular in the mainland, especially Teresa Teng's songs, which made countless people revel. Cheng Fangyuan was also a fan of Teresa Teng.

At that time, whenever Teresa Teng released a new song, Cheng Fangyuan was always the first one among the people around her to know about it. She not only listened to it but also learned to sing it, and she sang it with style. In school Slowly became famous. After graduation, Cheng Fangyuan was assigned to be an erhu player in the Central Orchestra. In her spare time, she also taught herself English and vocal music.

She has always retained the innocence in her heart and always wears simple colors.

There have always been many social events in the literary and art circles, but Chen Fangyuan has never been willing to waste time on these worldly things. Her life has always continued the "literary style". After work, she likes to drink coffee, read books, Listening to musicals, no matter how noisy and noisy the outside world is, she will never change her original intention.

Girls with a literary and artistic style have a kind of temperament that is out of the mud and untainted. They seem to be in a world of their own, destined to be incompatible with the trivial matters in the world. From childhood to adulthood, Cheng Fangyuan has been interpreting his "artistic life" with his unremitting efforts and unique lifestyle. However, art and life are sometimes contradictory to each other.

Art is a bright firework, but life requires firewood, rice, oil and salt. If the two cannot be distributed reasonably, life is destined to be unbalanced. This is the case for Cheng Fangyuan. She has been pursuing "literary art" all her life, so her marriage fell into pieces. All over the place.

Emotional life

Cheng Fangyuan’s first lover was her teacher. Their similar interests and hobbies made them lovers and they entered the palace of marriage. But when the initial passion fades, everything becomes unrecognizable. Love and marriage are two different things. Love can only be romantic, but marriage cannot be separated from the fireworks of the world.

One of them is a goddess of literature and art, who likes to be imaginative and loves freedom, and the other is a university teacher and a standard literary young man. It is difficult for such two people to run a family well. As the conflicts continued to escalate, their marriage turned red, and they chose to break up peacefully a year later.

After the divorce, Cheng Fangyuan put all her energy into her career. Perhaps to get over the pain, or perhaps to realize her self-pursuit, she worked day and night to reach new heights in her career. Cheng Fangyuan, who emerged from the siege, also started a free life. She traveled and took pictures everywhere, and even went to the United States for further study.

Although she is alone, because she is young and has capital, she manages her life smoothly.

After returning from the United States, she met a new love interest, Wang Gang, who is well known to the public. At that time, Wang Gang served as the host of "Zhengda Variety Show" and also starred in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". He was also a talented man with great content.

When they first met, they felt as if they had met too late, so they often made appointments to drink coffee and listen to music together. The latter walked on the crowded streets and chatted about life. As their relationship deepened, they secretly fell in love and eventually became lovers. It is worth mentioning that not only Cheng Fangyuan had a marriage experience, but Wang Gang also had a failed marriage. Similar pursuits and the same life experience gave them a feeling of cherishing each other.

Marriage to divorce

In 1996, after a year of dating, they got married in a low-key manner and became a "talented and beautiful" combination that everyone in the circle envied. But it is regrettable that such A perfect combination, but in the end they still went their separate ways. After getting married, Cheng Fangyuan still hasn't changed much. She still lives a very artistic life, and she never bothers with the trivial matters in life. Cheng Fangyuan doesn't like cooking. She likes a small and fresh life. A piece of dessert, a cup of coffee, and a guitar can spend an afternoon away.

As for the secular world in her family, she has never worried about it. It can also be said that Cheng Fangyuan has a lot of experience and is immature in her heart. She still thinks like a little girl and has no idea or concept of a "wife". . But Wang Gang's thinking is very traditional. When he's in love, it's okay for you and me. But when he gets married, what he wants is an ordinary married life, especially since Wang Gang wants a child.

But Cheng Fangyuan refused. She had no intention of welcoming and raising a little life, and gradually conflicts began to arise between the two of them. Perhaps because of his depressed mood, Wang Gang started to fall in love with drinking. He often drank until he was drunk with his friends, and Cheng Fangyuan drove him home every time.

If they were willing to change for each other, maybe the marriage would not end. When both people have too many ideas, neither one is willing to compromise, so the friction becomes deeper and deeper. What really led to the breakdown of their marriage was a violent quarrel. That time, Wang Gang was drunk and Cheng Fangyuan drove to pick him up. Unexpectedly, Wang Gang suddenly opened the car door and jumped out. If Cheng Fangyuan hadn't braked in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Afterwards, the two had a big quarrel and communicated calmly after the quarrel. However, the relationship was broken and the marriage was irretrievable. Divorce was undoubtedly the best outcome. In this way, in 2001, Cheng Fangyuan and Wang Gang went through the divorce procedures. The marriage lasted for five years and finally fell into pieces.

Do you regret it now?

Cheng Fangyuan is free again and still lives a free and easy life. She still travels, takes photos, and creates when she is inspired. Her life is simple and simple. Comfortable. Although Cheng Fangyuan felt that her life was in line with her inner pursuit of poetry and painting, her marriage became a worry for her parents.

Her parents tried to arrange a blind date for her everywhere, but in the end nothing came of it. Perhaps Cheng Fangyuan was just a bird that liked freedom, and she could not return to the cage and live quietly.

In 2009, Cheng Fangyuan’s mother passed away due to illness. Before her death, what she cared about most was her daughter’s marriage. She said to her husband: “After I leave, I must let Yuanzi find a home as soon as possible. , so I feel relieved."

But back to reality, Cheng Fangyuan is still alone. She lives with her old father. Now his father is nearly ninety and his health is getting worse every year. She needs to take care of her. The important responsibility of his father fell on Cheng Fangyuan.

At this time, Cheng Fangyuan was no longer the swallow flying all over the world. She had to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations as a daughter. But when she took care of her father, she discovered that she was also powerless. It was only now that she understood, "It would be great if I had a child, so that I could share the burden for myself."

But life is a foregone conclusion, and regret will not help after all. My father often said: "I will still have you when I am old. What will I do when you are old?" Cheng Fangyuan said: "Dad, I am in good health. You don't need to worry about it. When it really doesn't work, there is a nursing home." ”

But she could deceive her father, but she couldn’t deceive herself. As she grew older, she felt more and more lonely, and began to envy those days of fireworks in the world, envied other people’s children’s happiness, and secretly fell into despair when she was sad. Tears make people feel sad.

However, there is no turning back in life. Cheng Fangyuan has been an artist all his life, but he is very lonely in his later years. Life is so contradictory. If you want freedom, you are destined to not have a happy marriage. If you want to have a marriage, you must learn to adapt to a life that is not free enough.

No matter which life you choose, you have to bear the consequences, let alone regret it when you are young. When enjoying the good years, you must also be responsible for your own life, because life is a one-way street and there is no starting over.
